Law proposal ritual slaughter ban

In the Netherlands a proposal to ban Kosher and Halal slaughter methods has moved a step closer to reality, with a majority of the country’s MPs now supporting the ban. Now the law proposal from the unique Party for the Animals will have to be okayed by the Dutch senate. Just before the votes BBC Scotland comes to the Netherlands to discuss this sensitive topic with Islamic slaughterers and butchers, Jewish orthodox, scientists, a religious senator and to the people in the streets.
